Live at Rails World part 2

Code and the Coding Coders who Code it

Can you feel the festival vibes of Rails World? Brace yourself for an electrifying journey through the upcoming release of Rails 8, where authentication features are creating a buzz like never before. Picture yourself amidst a sea of passionate developers, where hallway interactions often outshine the scheduled talks. We'll also share a heartfelt tribute to Justin Searles, whose potentially final talk left a lasting mark on the Rails community. And guess what? The Rails World spirit isn't just confined to Rails enthusiasts; notable PHP community figures also joined, fostering a beautiful cross-framework camaraderie between Rails and Laravel.
Ever felt overwhelmed by deployment options? We’ve got you covered! This episode is packed with insights on the evolving landscape of Rails deployment tools. We share our mixed emotions about Heroku's discontinued free tier and our newfound appreciation for Hatchbox. The conversation steers towards Kamal and its promise of simplifying deployments, albeit with a learning curve. We discuss the dream of an official Rails playground, which could revolutionize how new developers deploy production apps, and the excitement surrounding default PWA support in Rails 8 that signals a bright future for web applications.
Ending on a high note, we dive into diverse deployment strategies by contrasting Laravel Cloud and Kamal, highlighting how Rails accommodates various needs with tools like Hatchbox, AWS, and Kamal. Nadia Odenayu's keynote on migrating from Heroku to Cloud 66 for a more cost-effective B2C app is also not to be missed. We speculate on the game-changing features of Rails 8.1, from action notifier to improved service worker integration, and dream ahead to Rails 9’s possibilities. Lastly, hear about the convenience of navigating the event with a bike rental app and the high anticipation for Eileen's keynote, promising even more exciting revelations.

Send us some love.
